My husband and I had dinner at the Yardville Inn Restaurant & Tavern to celebrate his birthday. It was our first time at the Yardville Inn. We walked in around 5pm on a Saturday evening and were pleasantly surprised that few tables were occupied on the restaurant side of the establishment. We were immediately greeted by our server, Megan, who seated us and immediately took our drink order. I ordered a Kamikaze but there was some confusion and I was served a Cosmopolitan instead. I didn't even have a chance to say anything about the mix-up because the bartender (blonde haired woman whose name I didn't catch) came to our table to ask how I liked the martini. I explained that I had ordered a Kamikaze and she immediately took the Cosmo and came back a few minutes later with a Kamikaze which was perfectly made. Just 2 of those and I was feeling a bit tipsy.🥴
For our appetizer, we shared an order of fried calamari which was lightly battered and fried, sautéed with hot peppers and served with a side of Marinara sauce. The portion was very generous and too much for the 2 of us to finish! I loved their use of hot pepper with the calamari. It wasn't overwhelming but gave it just enough "kick".
For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Italiano (roasted red peppers & spinach in a garlic white wine sauce with mozzarella over penne pasta) which was delicious and served as a large portion! My husband had the Yardville Chicken sautéed with asparagus and lump crabmeat in a brandy cream sauce over angel hair pasta.
We couldn't finish our meals. In fact, we barely ate half of what was on our dinner plates. We took the leftovers home and our sons, age 18 & 20, had it for their dinner. Both said the food was delicious! We didn't have room for dessert, but hopefully we will get to try it the next time around.
I would definitely recommend the Yardville Inn Restaurant & Tavern to anyone looking to eat a good meal or have a few drinks at a historic establishment with great service! All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and attentive to our needs.
Cost...reasonably priced dinner and drinks. Kamikaze cocktails were $12 each. The bill came to $98 which covered 2 chicken entrées (came with soup or salad), 1 appetizer (fried calamari), 2 cocktails, 1 Shirley Temple, & 1 Pepsi. Not bad for a...
Read moreFirst time back in 5 years. Didn’t like it back then, even worse now. Only came back because parents and their friends had a good time two weeks ago. Came tonight only for clams casinos to be ass and lil off smelly (obviously I’ve eaten good clams casino before, I know they could be better), the chicken pot pie soup and pierogis was good, but the special Chicken Salvadore was just awful. One of the worst chicken dishes I’ve ever eaten. Was it frozen ? because it tasted off like it was frozen as if chicken isn’t the easiest meat to cook. Why make something a special if it isn’t really special? And obviously my mother and I didn’t eat much of the chicken from how bad it tasted, but of course we didn’t get any credit back for that. Feel sick now with typing this. At least dad liked his steak. Not sure why we even bothered ordering desserts after when the carrot cake was just as disappointing. I will never be...
Read moreGreat place to go for an adult beverage and good bar fare, got a couple of good steaks, excellent pasta choices and some old school favorites chicken and veal. Girlfriend almost always gets the Chicken Fantasia and I am all over the menu but tonight was just the Classic California Bacon Cheddar Burger. Cooked to order, tomatoes were red and the lettuce was green and crispy. Sweet purple onion wasn't so harsh as to keep me from a good night kiss. Beers were big and cold and my go too mixed beverage was the same as the last 8 yrs I have been eating here. Consistency is a very important thing in a restaurant and Yardville Inn is relaxing and good and best of all for me and my girlfriend a consistent...
